Mesh/11 June 2017

got a tiny table at 48th @ Telegraph with:
email signup list - 8 emails, to be added to https://actionnetwork.org/groups/peoples-open-network
talked to HAM radio person from Hayward - he mentioned a yearly Field Test (in 2 wks from now) where all hamradio folks from Canada/US do disaster readiness training (Jorrit to follow-up)
BYOI poster got a lot of interest
disaster ping nice to point to and talk about
a lot of interest in disaster radio (has more comprehensible application)
flyer worked, something to take home or give to someone else
extender node was a popular talking point
the MAN (Mesh Area Network) is nice way of somewhat accurately explaining the mesh (if people are familiar with LAN and WAN terms)
got two or three people who vaguely knew the term 'mesh'
phone charger and solar panels were a nice touch, roped a few people in
talked to geneologists(Kyrha) who travels the country in trailer, has a disaster relief certificate, could be good contact for disaster radio
targeting cafes (internet connection too expensive, 16th St West Oakland)
trouble coming across too much as an ISP (the forty guy) is there an assumption of regulation with corporations
focus more on education and humanatarian aspects?
figure out how to best manage the peoplesopen mailing list at https://actionnetwork.org/groups/peoples-open-network (just invites for people to the workshop) and http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh (currently linked from peoplesopen.net) talk about this in Tuesday
